Summary of the contracting process

Devon & Somerset Fire & Rescue Service commissioned quantity surveying, project management and employer’s agent consultancy for the new build of Camels Head Fire Station. The work supports delivery of the fire station construction project, combining cost management with project coordination and the client-side role of employer’s agent. Delivery is in the South West of England. The procurement is for professional construction consultancy services rather than construction works themselves.

The contract has been awarded following a further competition under the SWPA Consultancy Services Framework, using a selective framework call-off. Taylor Lewis Ltd was selected, with an award value of £41,121. The award was made on 30 June 2026. The contract period runs from 30 September 2026 to 31 December 2029. The competition closed for submissions on 15 April 2026. The procurement was designated as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The published information does not set out specific evaluation weightings or detailed selection requirements.

This award shows Devon & Somerset Fire & Rescue Service buying a combined quantity surveying, project management and employer’s agent service for a fire station new build through a further competition within its consultancy framework. A credible competitor for a similar requirement would need to demonstrate the ability to provide all three disciplines and support a public-sector building project from cost control through project delivery and client representation. The selected supplier was a small or medium-sized enterprise, indicating that a business of that scale can deliver this consultancy package. Firms should be positioned to compete through the relevant framework route and show experience coordinating construction consultancy services for a building project; the procurement itself does not state particular accreditations or technical thresholds.
